But back then they gave you two hours of rest per night but it wasnt recommended that you sleep as you would be worse off only getting two hours of sleep rather than no sleep. Least thats what our drill instructors told us.
^ the 2+ months of Ranger training was very similar. Eating & sleeping were last on the list to do... always.... This was in the 90s so unsure if they changed some of the training exercises since there was a few deaths due to weather & other mishaps.
Saddest was watching a 2nd LT jump from a c130 and land in a pond of water moccasins. Bad way to get dead imho!
